SACRAMENTO, Calif. — In a last minute bill-signing flurry, Gov. Gray Davis approved measures to expand the rights of domestic partners and tighten requirements to purchase handguns.
He also vetoed dozens of bills, including one that called for an increase in workers compensation benefits, citing the state's growing budget crunch.

Davis signed a measure that provides about a dozen rights enjoyed by heterosexual married couples to more than 16,000 registered gay, lesbian and senior domestic partners in California.
It lets those who register as domestic partners with the California Secretary of State's Office
Opponents label it an assault on traditional marriage and family values. In March 2000, more than 60 percent of California voters said that marriage should be between a man and a woman.
Davis also signed twin handgun bills that would require gun buyers to pass a written test and demonstrate to a safety instructor that they know how to operate the weapon.
and a handgun safety certificate. The bills' requirements take effect Jan.1, 2003.
The identical Senate and Assembly bills require handgun buyers to provide a thumb print, proof of residency, identification
Democratic lawmakers endorsed the bill, saying that California pays some of the lowest injury benefits in the country. The bill would have increased payments to workers by up to $2.4 billion over five years.
Davis said he vetoed the bill because of "shaky economic times," and he said it failed to make adequate improvements to the state's workers compensation program.
In the final hours before his deadline, Davis vetoed a measure to boost workers compensation benefits. He has rejected two similar measures in the past.
Legislators sent the governor about 1,000 bills when they adjourned their 2001 session Sept. 15.
Supporters call Davis' decision the biggest expansion of domestic partner rights in the country, putting the state alongside Vermont and Hawaii for acceptance of same-sex couples.
